ROCHEM® Round Shaped Membrane Cushions

ROCHEM® is producing ROUND SHAPED MEMBRANE CUSHIONS. The round shape design results into 5% surface increase compared to octagonal shaped sheets with the same diameter as a result of the geometric difference.

  • 5% increase of the membrane area, flows and recovery rate increase as a result
  • Sealing edge of round membranes is applied with the more advanced technologies than the octagonal ones

The membrane cushion is made up with a permeate carrier, this permeate carrier is sandwiched between two membrane sheets.The outer diameter is sealed by ultrasonic welding of the three or more permeate carrieres together. The centre hole allows the permeate to flow into the permeate flow channels.
